Can you please advise if you are able to assist with the transfer back to Hanoi at the end of the trip? If yes, please advise the quote for it. If not, can you please advise on how to purchase this transfer?

I want to clarify that during this Ultimate 13-Day Vietnam Tour Experience tour, you will join the group tours in Vietnam (group size maybe 12-14 people). The group tour is NOT that you share with the same group from the beginning till the end. Most of our tour is a partial group tour in which you will have a group tour for excursion at each place, but airport pick up/transfer and accommodation are private. Yes I can add a domestic flight from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi on Aug 5th for you. You will fly back home on Aug 6th, it means you will also need one more night stay in Hanoi (the 5th), is it right? Before making the quote for you, Can I know the hotel category you're interested in? Then I can calculate the quote more accurately for you.

What exactly does this include?

The local payment covers airfares during the trip, the English-speaking guide fee, and some other local fees for a wholesome experience which you pay us directly by credit card or cash on the first day.

How much does it cost for 4-star hotels?

Choosing 4-star accommodations typically increases the overall cost by approximately USD $290 per person for the duration of the tour. This upgrade provides better hotel services and amenities.

How many people are typically in a tour group?

The group size can vary but usually accommodates around 12-14 travelers, allowing for an engaging experience while maintaining a sense of intimacy.

Is transportation included from the airport to the hotel?

Yes, airport transfers in both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are included in the tour package, ensuring seamless transportation upon arrival and departure.

How do local payments work?

Local payments can be made upon arrival, covering the additional services like local guides or activities that are not included in the initial booking.

How much is a single suppliment

We understand that for solo travelers sometimes it is important to be with the same group for the entire trip. Most of our tour is a partial group tour in which you will have a group tour for excursion at each place, but airport pick up and accommodation are private. Before making the quote and calculate the single supplement, I want to reconfirm some information: Can I know your interested travel date? The category you want for this trip? 3-star, 4-star or 5-star?

Are accomodations ever included in your discount prices?

For your question, yes the accommodations are include in this package.

Can you provide more information on the walk on day 4 and 5 - what difficulty is this? will it be hilly?

On day 4: you will go through 3 villages from Sapa to Y Linh Ho, Lao Chai, Ta Van villages (around 12km). If you can't take the whole 12 km, I will arrange the private car (without surcharge) for transfer from Sapa to Lao Chai where you will join lunch with group and take around 5 km from Lao Chai to Ta Van Village. On day 5: You will take the morning trek (around 8 km) and bus will pick you up for transfer back to Sapa.

Is there a single supplement for solo travelers?

Yes, if you prefer not to share a room, there is a single supplement fee that applies to solo travelers wanting their own accommodations.

Our 13-day journey across Vietnam was truly an unforgettable experience. We really felt like we had the chance to explore and understand the country in a meaningful way. Everything was very well organized, the guide was incredibly supportive and always ready to help, and the hotels were comfortable throughout the trip. We chose TourRadar for this journey and it was definitely the right decision. A special thanks to Edna. She was amazing and seemed to be there for us 24/7, making sure everything ran smoothly.Show more

We had an incredible tour in Vietnam! Even with our limited time, we managed to visit every spot on our list, and each activity was truly remarkable. From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the breathtaking landscapes of Sapa and the historical charm of Hue, every destination offered its own unique beauty. The excursions to Halong Bay and the Mekong Delta were absolute highlights for me; I found them especially enjoyable and memorable. The stunning scenery and rich culture made those experiences unforgettable. Additionally, the hotels we stayed at were generally excellent, providing us with comfort and great service.Show more

"13 days Vietnam Experience" booked through Tourradar, organizer Realistic Asia, supervised by Mr Long Pham: this tour was perfectly organized. I particularly liked the fact that, depending on the location, new groups could be formed, whose participants came from different countries all over the world and were also accompanied by changing tour guides who had particularly good knowledge of these locations. The number of tour participants was in small groups with an average of 8-10 people. We had only booked 3* hotels and these were of good quality. The selection of restaurants through Realistic Asia was good with very good food. The breakfast in the respective hotels was also varied and delicious. The means of transport - limousines - were new, the drivers were careful and we felt safe! The tour guides are extremely well trained, their language (english) is easy to understand. Special mention should be made of the tour guide "Mrs Lala", who led two trekking tours in Sapa excellently, and "Mr Thanh", who spoke about Ho Chi Minh and the terrible war with his liveliness and enormous historical knowledge. I would like to highlight something that was absolutely new for us as world travelers. It is the enormous effort of the entire tour support via WhatsApp by the tour manager "Long Pham". For example, daily checks were made to see if everything was OK and reminders were given of the pick-up times. If there was the slightest disagreement (there was only one tiny one in a hotel), a positive solution was found immediately. We would like to say a special thank you for that, because something like that is probably unique! Thank you, thank you!! I can definitely recommend Realistic Asia and will use the services of this tour operator again! Maybe you will even be lucky enough to be looked after by Mr Long Pham!Show more

I was worried at first because it was our first vacation in Asia, but we felt really well looked after from the moment we were picked up at the airport and throughout the rest of the trip.

  I want to clarify that during this Ultimate 13-Day Vietnam Tour Experience tour, you will join the group tours in Vietnam (group size maybe 12-14 people). The group tour is NOT that you share with the same group from the beginning till the end. Most of our tour is a partial group tour in which you will have a group tour for excursion at each place, but airport pick up/transfer and accommodation are private. Yes I can add a domestic flight from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi on Aug 5th for you. You will fly back home on Aug 6th, it means you will also need one more night stay in Hanoi (the 5th), is it right? Before making the quote for you, Can I know the hotel category you're interested in? Then I can calculate the quote more accurately for you.

  For your question, yes I can add a domestic flight from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi on Aug 5th for you. You will fly back home on Aug 6th, it means you will also need one more night stay in Hanoi (the 5th), is it right? Or you will arrange it yourself and only need me to arrange a flight from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi on Aug 5th?

How much is a single suppliment
Single supplement
- Realistic AsiaOperator•Written November 2024
  We understand that for solo travelers sometimes it is important to be with the same group for the entire trip. Most of our tour is a partial group tour in which you will have a group tour for excursion at each place, but airport pick up and accommodation are private. Before making the quote and calculate the single supplement, I want to reconfirm some information: Can I know your interested travel date? The category you want for this trip? 3-star, 4-star or 5-star?
